How does it work?
The same starter can be counted in two ways: French recipe sheets relate it to the flour added to the mix, the slider to the total flour, including the flour in the starter. With several refreshes, the starter obtained from each one serves as the mother for the next. The calculation starts from the starter needed, including the mother to keep, and works back to the mother of the first refresh.
